Everything is full of chemicals because everything is chemicals. Which chemicals are you referring to?

[@arseyne]

exactly the only upside to this hack is that you'll avoid damaging your washing machine by preventing the fabric softener to build up

[@swankyangelo]

Harsh chemicals. Aren’t you bright enough to get to that conclusion? Or you mean to tell me that you take everything for it’s literal meaning? I’m sure you don’t lol.

[@helenalaney]

The synthetic carcinogenic kind. Duh

[@Sofiamilky]

It's a cocktail of really shitty stuff that doesn't disolver easily, but its mainly Dihydrogenated tallow dimethlyl ammonium chloride (DHTDMAC)

[@thatguy3903]

@@swankyangelo mate, I'm a biochemist. "Harmful chemicals" can mean anything in the right doses. I'm looking for something specific that would be cause for concern.

[@megalomaniac6464]

Acetic acid + dihydrogrn monoxide + citric acid + isopropyl alcohol = not chemicals for some reason

[@swatune4578]

lol

[@BeansEnjoyer911]

The real reason to not use fabric softener is because it's actually bad for washers.

[@ellieblunden1463]

And it ruins and stains your clothes. I've accidentally fucked up a lot of clothes because I used too much.

[@tylermurphy2231]

Plus it makes fabric more flammable

why does it have a softener department then??

[@joeyboardwell8030]

Fabric softener can also gum up in your washer leading to breakage or lack of effective cleaning.

[@IsMaryStillPoppin]

"Full of chemicals" 🤣 ma'am absolutely everything is made of chemicals. Literally all the things.

[@peyvandarabi3143]

Y are pple so scared of chemicals? Not all chemicals are bad or toxic

[@helenalaney]

Many are though 😵‍💫

[@naelyneurkopfen9741]

@@helenalaney everything is chemical. Nature is chock full of dangerous/deadly chemicals. Calm down.

[@loveu8910]

@@helenalaney yeah but also alot of “natural” products arnt good either

[@MysticMyths]

Or just use the vinegar by itself. Scentless and it still works as a fabric softener on its own.

[@canned4147]

Ain’t no way you said vinegar is scentless

[@MysticMyths]

@@canned4147 after the washer as fabric softener, it is. I grew up using it because my brother has allergies to nearly all detergents and fabric softeners. It smells when you put it in but white vinegar after the fabric softener part of the wash cycle leaves behind no scent

[@canned4147]

@@MysticMyths ok

[@Asigedge]

I agree. My bath towels come out so much more fluffy using vinegar

[@mizzshortie907]

Essential oil’s are expensive! 50 drops!? She must got that 💰

[@Happy2Run4Me]

Yeah, instead of that make a strong tea from 1 cup fresh lemon balm (you can grow it!) or 1/3 to 1/2 cup dried to a quart of water steeped with boiling water for a few hours and use a few ounces of that replacing some of the water in this recipe. I do that for my diy liquid laundry detergent to scent it as well I can’t imagine it wouldn’t work in this recipe and save a lot of $$ on essential oils. I don’t use them personally. Too expensive. Id rather grow fresh herbs!

[@naelyneurkopfen9741]

So is that stuff you color your hair with and the stuff you paint your face with. Just as it does in a dishwasher, vinegar can harm rubber parts inside a washing machine, which will eventually lead to leaks. Though laundering your clothes with vinegar is a cost-effective, natural way to soften and deodorize fabrics, avoid using it in your washer too frequently. 

[@Happy2Run4Me]

I use it occasionally to clean out the gunk the regular fabric softener leaves. It’s pretty gross.

[@pennyrobinson4266]

I use vinegar and it doesn’t leave a scent when it dries. I use it without alcohol, but your recipe is an interesting suggestion. Thanks.

[@missmjl2468]

This works beautifully thank you

[@Hannah-xx7ou]

What does the alcohol do?

[@deoyx]

"it's full of chemicals!" I'm so sick of hearing this shit. Your precious vinegar? Chemical. "Oh no I meant it's not natural" is what usually comes next. Cyanide. Anthrax. Botulism. All are natural. Stop trying to criminalize things in a lame attempt of greenwashing. Things are more nuanced than "chemical bad, natural good."

[@hellowilson5335]

Real reason you shouldn’t use it is because it’s bad for your washer.

[@cornerbytheocean3541]

Fabric softener breaks down your washing machine. Unless you get it routinely checked up or clean it yourself You'll never know.... We don't use it and use vinegar

[@cornerbytheocean3541]

Also some people have sensitive skin and can't use it anyways. Depends on person to person.

[@kisikisikisi]

Fabric softener is bad for your clothes and your machine, but not because of "chemicals". As people have stated, everything is chemicals. Also, vinegar is better, but not because it's natural. It just happens to both be better and natural. Let's stop thinking that synthetic chemicals are somehow inherently less safe than natural ones. Also, claiming that essential oils are non-toxic when they can in fact be highly toxic to pets is irresponsible.

[@Minehakimi]

LOL "add a quater of alcohol" talking about chemicals

[@nayjavu]

Yeah but whats the shelf life

[@nixxyhasthoughts]

Everything is chemicals. Unnecessary scaremongering.

[@user-pd8te1vv7r]

His early if you’re using the softener for fragrance purposes why not buy fragrance boosters/scent boosters

[@shaniahinch7688]

It’s bad for your washing machine and dryer, like so bad

[@justjaein]

full of chemicals… that I promise you will do the job better than whatever concoction you’re making

[@Sofiamilky]

Actually, this is better than the Dihydrogenated tallow dimethlyl ammonium chloride (DHTDMAC) of fabric softeners

[@helenalaney]

Fabric softener decreases absorbancy, and is not recommended for use on towels. Vinegar strips the dirt, grime and detergent residue, leaving them plush and more absorbent than before. In this instance and many others, vinegar concoction wins. Don't knock it before you try it. By chemicals I think she meant toxins and unnecessary ingredients.

[@missellehansen]

Vinegar is a chemical, everything has chemicals.

[@FF-oh2pv]

"It's full of chemicals" has to be the second dumbest possible thing you could say about washing liquid,, with the dumbest beeing "let me just get a little tast of that"

[@geekmyths]

or you can just not add fabric softener because you very much don’t need it…

[@NganNguyen-jd1hu]

Umh alcohol isn't good for your machine, maybe in a very small amount but it can explode lol

[@sharlesb7735]

It ruins the fabric and why isn’t the washing liquid enough.

[@loveu8910]

Some people have hard water and fabric softeners help to make the fabrics soft again. Ive tried not using anything also vinegar. Didnt work that much as fabric felt scratchy and alot of pilling was happening

[@davidphillips6708]

I tried it now everything I own smells like vinegar🙃

[@bunny27775]

Don't use as much as she does for one load you only need 2 tablespoons max

[@loveu8910]

Use citric acid its odourless and has similar properties as vinegar.

[@josephkanowitz6875]

ב''ה, you want as odorless/flavorless a white vinegar as you can get, but the scent does really dissipate after fully drying and airing out. Glacial acetic acid might be good; "Farm Fresh" on the east coast also worked well and wasn't too strong. This is good for deodorizing fabrics, and reducing crunchiness from hard water, but the vinegar/acetic acid does destroy elastic in waistbands and socks.
